3/11:New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius does not care where he hits in 2018, he is just happy to be in the lineup, according to David Lennon of Newsday. Gregorius was the cleanup hitter for long periods of the 2017 season but realizes that this will likely not be the case with Giancarlo Stanton added to the team and with Greg Bird healthy. The 27-year-old hit .287 with 25 home runs and 87 RBI, all career highs, in 2017. He also managed to bring his strikeout rate down to 12.3, another career best, showing that he is improving on his plate discipline. While a lot of his counting statistics came from him hitting in the middle of the lineup last season, Gregorius is likely to be a top-10 shortstop once again in 2018.--Chris Zolli - RotoBallerSource: Newsday
